device for essential communications (such as

medical emergencies).

Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the

handsfree and the electronic device connected to the

handsfree must be switched on in a service area with

adequate cellular signal strength.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular

phone networks or when certain network services

and/or phone features are in use.

Check with your local service provider.
